Abstract
Description
- The present invention is directed to pesticidal mixtures containing one or more succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (“SDHIs”) and one or more sulfur-containing compounds. The present invention further relates to methods of controlling a pest by applying one or more SDHIs and one or more sulfur-containing compounds to a plant, plant propagation material or an area where a plant will grow.
- Peanut leaf spots, including Early leaf spots (Cercospora arachidicola) and Late leaf spots (Phaeoisariopsis personata or Cercosporidium personatum), are the cause of serious disease in many economically important plants including peanut plants. Prevention of peanut leaf spots has been well studied since the discovery of the disease in peanut plants in the late 1990's.
- Peanut leaf spot has typically been controlled in peanuts by planting date, seeding rate, the use of resistant cultivars, and the insecticide chlorothalonil. However, peanut leaf spot is not completely controlled by chlorothalonil. Further, chlorothalonil is toxic and may soon be banned in Europe.
- Accordingly, there is a need in the art for mixtures that have less toxicity for the prevention of peanut leaf spot.
- The present invention is directed to a pesticidal mixture of one or more succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (“SDHIs”) and one or more sulfur-containing compounds.
- The present invention is further directed to a method of controlling a pest comprising applying a pesticidal mixture of the present invention to a plant, plant propagation material or an area where a plant will grow.
- The present invention is further directed to a method of controlling peanut leaf spot by applying a pesticidal mixture comprising an effective amount of one or more SDHIs and one or more sulfur-containing compounds to a plant, plant propagation material or an area where a plant will grow.
- The Applicant has unexpectedly discovered that a mixture of one or more succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (“SDHIs”) and one or more sulfur-containing compounds is more effective in controlling peanut leaf spot than the commercial standard, chlorothalonil. Further, the Applicant has unexpectedly discovered that a mixture of one or more SDHIs and one or more sulfur-containing compounds is capable of controlling peanut leaf spot.

- Microthiol® Disperss® was used as the source of sulfur and is a registered trademark of and available from Atofina Chemicals, Inc.
- The following greenhouse test was conducted Sep. 14, 2019. Peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea) were used in the test as the crop plant. The peanut plants were infected Cercosporidium personatum.
- Leaves were sprayed with inpyfluxam, chlorothalonil, benzovindiflupyr, prothioconazole, and/or sulfur at the rates disclosed in Table 1. Results can be found in Table 1, below. All data was analyzed for significance.
- As seen in Table 1, below, a mixture of inpyrfluxam and sulfur provided superior control of late leaf spot compared to inpyfluxam alone.
